Quick info
About The Falcon
On Cornmarket in High Wycombe, The Falcon is a pub serving real ale, wine and coffee alongside English breakfast and pub grub. The format is walk-in, with orders placed at the bar or through the app rather than at a table. The food side covers a breakfast menu as well as standard pub dishes, giving options across the day. Drinks run from real ale to wine, with coffee also on offer for those stopping in earlier. No reservations are taken, and the counter and app ordering keep the pace informal. The pub sits on Cornmarket in the town.

Customer Review Summary
Praise centers on friendly staff, with two reviewers singling out individual servers as welcoming and always smiling, and another calling the staff reasonably good at their jobs. Beyond that, diners mention a wide choice of beers, food described as delicious, and a relaxed, casual feel with some character from the building itself. Complaints about speed and accuracy carry nearly as much weight. Several describe slow service, including an app order that arrived well after everyone else's meals, so the others had finished before it landed. One family received two wrong meals after ordering the classic burger, and says staff insisted it was a chicken burger and declined both a replacement and a refund. Others call the hot chocolate low quality, note there were no napkins, and say tables are packed so closely that chairs constantly bump. One reviewer's soft drink arrived quickly, but the breakfast took so long that they chased it twice.

“My soft drink came quickly but I had to wait well over half an hour for the breakfast I ordered. I chased up my order (twice) with staff too. Not very good at all today 😞”

“It's a spoons so I don't expect gourmet meals or anything. Saying that, the food it pretty nice and staff are reasonably good at thier jobs. JUST A BIT OF A SHAME THAT THERE ARE ALWAYS 5 ZILLION FLIES THAT LIVE THERE. plus this spoons seems to attract the unwashed element of wycombe (might explain the flies). If you want a nice spoons you may prefer to drive to Marlow or Beaconsfield.”

“Predictability grim but was out-voted and had to go. Ordered on the app, my food took 15 mins more than everyone else's to come despite ordering the same time, so they'd all finished by the time I started. Place feels like it needs a good clean.”

“Unfortunately, I found a hair in my food during my visit. This was very disappointing and raised concerns about hygiene standards. I informed the staff, but the experience affected my overall impression of the restaurant. I hope more attention will be paid to food preparation and quality control in the future.”

“Worst customer service I have ever seen!! So I visited today with my family and placed an order at the bar, when the food arrived 2 of the meals ordered were wrong so the lady then says she will get them changed, to then a few minutes later the lady that had served me came over and asked what was wrong with the food I said you put in the wrong order ( bare in mind this is a trainee ) that they have left unsupervised so she then stands and argue the fact that I said chicken when my words were the classic burger she then walked away to have another lady come and ask the same question so explained again to her she then trys to tell me the classic burger is a chicken burger when there app clearly states different and the lady never stated that at the till like she claimed to have, so moral of story they refused to change the food and told me I wasnt entitled to a refund as there was nothing wrong with the food. The staff are rude very confrontational and completely lack in customer service this will be the last time I will visit this particular spoons as was completely unexcepable they were at complete fault but didnt want to own it I will be reporting to head office as this is a joke”
